About 28 Elizabeth Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
28 Elizabeth Street is a semi-detached house in Wakefield (WF1 5NE). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 sits 255.6% above the 2021 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£43/sq ft) was about 54.6% below the postcode norm. At 98 m² it's 24.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 21 EPCs). Sold January 2021 for £45,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 28 Elizabeth Street is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 5NE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 28 Elizabeth Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 28 Elizabeth Street was lodged in March 2016 at band D and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 28 Elizabeth Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF1 5NE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 28 Elizabeth Street is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
